370z Owners - PLEASE LOOK HERE. URGENT.

SoGenius · 01-10-2011, 08:46 PM

The dealership I'm getting my 370z from is putting me in a very affordable car. The catch? It has a rebuilt title. According to the auction they are getting it from (Manhiem) the unit only sustained right side damage (It was rear ended.)

2010 Nissan 370z
1,840 miles
Severe rear end damage.

I don't have a CarFax, (they don't even know if they want to get it because they didn't inspect frame damage yet.) and I don't know if the car has Frame Damage.

Based off the following pictures, would you buy it?
-- They are waiting for my response so that they can make an offer to the Insurance companies.

I also have the VIN number if someone can please help me make sure this unit does not have a REPORTED frame damage.

What are the differences between a Salvaged Title and Rebuild-able Title?

Hell no.

(unless you are just buying for parts/engine or something)

Looks like another one of those "VDC Off" victims...

I just want to make sure I'm not putting my life and pockets at risk here guys. This is why I posted the pictures first before I asked them to make an offer to the Insurance companies.

I appreciate the responses, I e-mailed my contact and told her to find something else. Can anyone else chime in on why this is a bad idea?

1800 miles.... ****.... I guess patience is what I need here.

Because it's busted as hell. May never ride the same as new. Worthless to re-sell. Expensive to fix. Waste of time, money, and potentially a forever-annoyance/money-pit with no return value.

really getting sick of these "no vdc = crash" bs. If you cant go without crashing your car without VDC, you shouldnt be driving. As a matter of fact, if you cant drive a car without VDC you shouldnt own a sports car.

specZ · 01-10-2011, 09:24 PM

BAD IDEA- I would bet my Z that car will NEVER ride the same again. Its a GREAT parts vehicle, but sadly, that car has no business being on the road. You can thank your patience when you find something better than this mess of a car.

Once the frame is no good the car is basically useless...
No point in trying to drive a car that's frame got rear ended + rear wheel drive car.
No Good....

Pro Tips, Pro Tips. Thanks guys.

So, I told them to add the Nismo so their search. Because this is a Nissan community and I care about all of you, I won't say "I hope someone defaults on their Nismo Loan."

Did they step on just the corner or the whole thing?
